The right to withdraw from research.

Published: December 2010

The right to withdraw from participation in research is recognized in virtually all national and international guidelines for research on human subjects. It is therefore surprising that there has been little justification for that right in the literature. We argue that the right to withdraw should protect research participants from information imbalance, inability to hedge, inherent uncertainty, and untoward bodily invasion, and it serves to bolster public trust in the research enterprise. Although this argument is not radical, it provides a useful way to determine how the right should be applied in various cases.

Photoluminescent Properties of Tb-UiO-66 Metal-Organic Framework Analogues.

Inorg Chem

January 2025

Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and Centre for NanoScience Research, Concordia University, 7141 Sherbrooke Street West, Montreal, Quebec H4B 1R6, Canada.

Three new analogues of Tb-UiO-66 with various functional groups (-F, -Br, -NH) on the terephthalic acid linker of the metal-organic framework (MOF) are synthesized and characterized. The photoluminescent properties of these analogues, as well as Tb-UiO-66 and Tb-UiO-66-(OH), are studied and correlated to the calculated energies for the triplet (T) states of each linker. The results show that the addition of electron withdrawing groups, such as -F and -Br, lead to higher T energies, resulting in quantum yields in the range of 6-31%.

The accumulation of lipids in hepatocytes in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) leads to an increase in reactive oxygen species and changes in the intracellular microenvironment, while ferroptosis is the result of the accumulation of iron-dependent lipid peroxidation. Studies have shown that ferroptosis plays an important role in the pathogenesis of NAFLD. Herein, we have developed a viscosity-sensitive fluorescence probe PTSO with near-infrared emission and a large Stokes shift, which were achieved by introducing the sulfone group into the dioxothiochromen-malononitrile fluorophore as an electron-withdrawing group.

Background: Chinese cancer survivors are not doing well in returning to work. Peer support, as an external coping resource to help cancer survivors return to work, brings together members of the lay community with similar stressors or problems for mutual support. Peer volunteers have not received systematic training, so inappropriate language in the support process can often cause secondary damage to both the peer and the cancer survivor.

Effect of early rehabilitation on hospital stay and postoperative complications in elderly hip fracture patients: a prospective cohort study.

J Orthop Surg Res

January 2025

Department of Emergency Medicine Center, The First Affiliated Hospital, Hengyang Medical School, University of South China, No.69 Chuanshan Road, Shigu District, 421001, Hengyang City, Hunan Province, China.

Background: Hip fractures in the elderly are a major global public health concern, with incidence projected to rise as populations age. Rehabilitation is critical to recovery after hip fracture surgery, but the ideal timing for initiation remains uncertain. While early rehabilitation, within 48 h post-surgery, is associated with better outcomes, its specific impact on hospital stay duration and postoperative complications is not yet conclusively established.

Background: Avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head is a degenerative condition characterized by ischemic bone death, resulting in pain and impaired mobility. Core decompression, a surgical intervention, is widely performed for stage II AVN to alleviate symptoms and delay disease progression. While clinical and radiological outcomes are well-documented, the psychosocial dimensions of recovery remain underexplored.
